Sparky posted topic Poverty Reduction

lpoutine,

Sparky has just posted a new topic entitled "Poverty Reduction" in forum "Urban Issues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are now about to witness a discussion that will take place in our province focused on poverty reduction. What does that mean? How does one reduce poverty? Is it the right thing to do? There is no question that some people require social assistance. How does a society decide who should receive money from those who have money?

There are some that will have us believe that a "guaranteed wage" will be good for everyone. There are some that will have us believe that taking from the rich and giving to the poor is not a health attitude and that this type of thinking will eventually lower the natural incentive that humans have to produce.

Please be EXTRA respectful when posting in this thread. I mean that. I want to hear your honest views on the topic. Here is an opportunity to be thoughtful and creative. Our provincial government is about to embark on a social experiment that could change the way we humans do business here.

It's 10 PM. It's rainy and miserable outside, but you're curled up on your couch, cocooned in the softest blanket in the world. Your favourite Netflix show is on and you're in full binge-watch mode. All is right with the world.
But wait…your roommate ate the last bag of popcorn, there's no more ice cream in the fridge, and the nearest 24 hour grocery store is a 10 minute drive away.
Sound familiar? It happens to us at least once a week!
Which is why we were absolutely thrilled when we heard about Iced Victoria (https://www.icedvictoria.com/) – a late night snack delivery service that will bring you your favourite guilty pleasures within an hour!

Adrian22 posted topic Tidings Concert: Allison Crowe with Céline Sawchuk

lpoutine,

Adrian22 has just posted a new topic entitled "Tidings Concert: Allison Crowe with Céline Sawchuk" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Canada's amazing Allison Crowe (vocals, piano, guitar, fiddle & bodhran), Vancouver Island-born, Newfoundland-nested singer-songwriter, pairs with exquisite cellist/vocalist Celine Sawchuk, born in Germany's Black Forest and now home on Salt Spring Island, BC to bring "Tidings" – music for the season & all-time.

Tidings delivers comforts and joys – stirring together traditional Christmas and holiday favourites from English, French and German repertoire, with an organic blend of rock, jazz, folk, roots and soul.

Nanaimo's Allison Crowe performs concerts across Europe and North America from her home on Canada's Atlantic coast. In Corner Brook, NL, Allison's writing a book of prose poetry, "Fluttering", and composing songs for a new album, "Rare Birds" (her 22nd release on Rubenesque Records). She's Musical Director of "Newfoundland Vinyl", a rollicking hit at TNL's Gros Morne Theatre Festival. Other adventures include Allison's cameo in the Hollywood Superman blockbuster "Man of Steel" and touring as featured singer/pianist with Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Allison's even appeared as a clue/answer in Cryptic Crossword (Cox & Rathvon's iconic puzzler.)

When Céline Sawchuk (née Greb) migrated recently from the Black Forest community of Dennach, our Pacific coast region gained a freshly creative graphic designer as well as a most expressive and talented cellist. Céline's combined 17 years of classical training with concert tours across Europe alongside her popular musician Father. (Céline actually wanted to play cello since age 3 – but only at 5 years old was she big enough to fit behind her chosen instrument.)

Uniting a range of rich cultural traditions, Allison and Céline deliver musical joy and wonderment this holiday season in the fabulous Charlie White Theatre.

Allison Crowe's original tunes are sung by the chimney, together with gifts from the modern canon of Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles and Patty Griffin. The pair's sleighful of traditionals and classics is bound to feature selections from such favourites as "Silent Night", "La Vie en Rose", "Es ist ein ros Entsprungen", "Soul Cake", "Wexford Carol", "In the Bleak Midwinter" and plenty more delights – perhaps even a plum from Broadway!

"Allison Crowe's voice is as much a manifestation of Christmas spirit today as Bing Crosby's was in 1942. It's as warm as an open fire; as gorgeous as snow-frosted evergreens; as tender as that hug you give your mother on Christmas day" – The Pique

"Be prepared to be amazed" – ChristmasReviews

Greysangel posted topic Women's clothing consignment stores

lpoutine,

Greysangel has just posted a new topic entitled "Women's clothing consignment stores" in forum "Retail Establishments & Grocery Markets".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have had such poor luck with the consignment stores in town. Either poor attitudes or so many rules for consigning. Shouldn't it be easy and stress free to take good quality clothes in?

Anyone have a store they recommend, both for shopping at and for consigning?

VicHockeyFan posted topic Ranking the municipalities

lpoutine,

VicHockeyFan has just posted a new topic entitled "Ranking the municipalities" in forum "Urban Issues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just for fun, I was thinking of running a simple poll, on what municipality is best. what categories could a guy use?

Crime - pretty straightforward, most people think limited crime is the best
Affordability - housing, goods, just overall
Traffic/transportation - simple here
Recreation - parks, rec centres, open space, cycle routes etc.
Economy/jobs - how's the jobs there?

And I thought maybe something about "raising a family" or something...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/green-mla-sonia-furstenau-sued-over-soil-site-comments-1.23052491


------------ QUOTE ----------

Green Party MLA Sonia Furstenau is being sued for defamation for comments she allegedly made during a rally against a contaminated soil dump.
Michael Kelly and Martin Block, the president and vice-president of Cobble Hill Holdings, filed the suit in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday. Cobble Hill Holdings is the owner of a Shawnigan Lake quarry used as a landfill for contaminated soil.
The allegations have not been proven in court.The suit alleges that Furstenau "falsely and maliciously spoke" about Kelly and Block during a rally on the legislature lawns in front of hundreds, on or around March 15, 2015.
-----------------------------


She has already pulled the transcript of her remarks from that date from her blog page. Would be interesting to see what it was she said that these guys are gunning for her now.
